Technical Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for enhancing color consistency in images are disclosed. A method may include activating, by a device, a camera to capture first image data; while the camera is capturing the first image data, activating of a first light source; receiving the first image data, the first image data having pixels having first color values; identifying first light generated by the first light source while the camera is capturing the first image data; identifying, based on the first image data, second light generated by a second light source; generating, based on the first light, the second light, and a distance between the camera and the vehicle light, second color values for the pixels of the first image data; generating second image data based on the second color values; and presenting the second image data.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

3

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the device is a smartphone, and wherein the first light source is a flashlight.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the device is associated with a vehicle.

5

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first light source is a tail light of the vehicle.

6

6. The method of claim 1, wherein activating the first light source further comprises flickering the first light source using pulse-wave modulation.

7

7. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the second color values is further based on a power spectral density of the first light.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the second light is generated by the second light source and a third light source.

10

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the activation comprises varying a color of the first light source.

13

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the device is a smartphone, and wherein the second light source is a flashlight.

14

14. The vehicle system of claim 11, wherein the system is associated with a vehicle.

15

15. The vehicle system of claim 14, wherein the second light source is a tail light of the vehicle.

16

16. The vehicle system of claim 11, wherein to generate the second color values is further based on a power spectral density of the first light.

19

19. The device of claim 17, wherein the device is a smartphone, and wherein the second light source is a flashlight.

20

20. The device of claim 17, wherein the device is associated with a vehicle, and wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause actuation of the vehicle based on the second image data.
